Ultimate High-Protein Turkey Burger


  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Juicy and tender turkey burgers packed with a savory blend of paprika, garlic, and parsley. Moist, flavorful patties ideal for quick dinners or post-workout meals—perfectly protein-rich without sacrificing taste.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, finely grated
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated onion, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into ¾-inch thick patties.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat or preheat a grill. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Let patties rest for 2-3 minutes before serving on your preferred bun with toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, or mustard.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, avoid pressing the patties while cooking.
  • Perfect for meal prep! Store cooked patties in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
